CADXA Continues K7UGA Armed Forces Day Operation

The recent Armed Forces Day and Memorial Day K7UGA special event operations have provided a total of 2,852 QSOs in honor of Senator Goldwater's legacy of service to Amateur Radio. QSLing continues through K7BHM only, per QRZ.COM address.

Thanks to all for your QSOs in support of this operation.


2009 CADXA DX Competition

First of all, CONGRATULATIONS to the winners of the 2008 CADXA Band-Entities Competition. Click here to see the list of winners!  Note that you must have Microsoft Excel to view the results file.

In 2009, CADXA offers another Band-Entities Competition but one with significant change from last year's event.

    -  Six Meters is added for 2009

Work the highest band-countries (ok band-entities for you purists) between January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2009 and you will win a nice plaque and be the envy of all!

Three plaques will be awarded:
QRP (5w or less output)
Low Power (between 5 and 100w)
High Power (over 100w up to 1500w)

Certificates

For you “band specialists”, certificates will be awarded to the highest scorer on each band in each power class above. To spread around the wealth, the plaque winners will not be eligible for a band certificate. That allows everyone to get in on this event and compete.

All HF bands + 6 Meters are in play in this one. 1.8 thru 54 MHz.

Contest QSOs ARE encouraged as this gets the club some needed contest points as well! We are all about points, ya know. ;-)

Entries are due to AA7A (aa7a at arrl dot net) by January 15, 2010. I can accept ADIF files or any common text file format. For your convenience, an Excel spreadsheet is offered to collect band-entity worked data. Please download the Excel spreadsheet file here. Simply fill out this spreadsheet, rename to YOURCALL.xls and submit. Please indicate which power class you are entering with your submission.

Honor system prevails folks. We’re just competing for paper and wood, not gold.
